DESCRIPTIVE DATA

object type: The steel blade is European, curved and single edged for most of its length, filed at the forte, point and false edge into saw-teeth with sharp cusps. The iron hilt is of Indo-Muslim type, with short quillons with rounded terminals, medium length langets with stylised bud finials, a rounded baluster grip, wide, shallow dish pommel with a dome and pierced finial. The whole hilt is covered with floral scrolls in gold koftgari. The blade has numerous areas of filiform corrosion, probably where the metal is delaminating, and much of the koftgari has been rubbed off the hilt.
